There’s a video that has been flooding social media (and no, it’s not that silly CrossFit fail video).
Some random guy secretly taped President Obama working out. Here’s the video:
#LungingLikeABoss <= No… no he’s not.
At first, I was impressed. I thought to myself, “Hey, there’s a man that’s pretty busy and showing the world that he can even take time to take care of his health.”
But then I continued to watch… with horror.
It was like one of those “fail” videos that go viral when you’re thinking to yourself, “This is terrible”, yet there you are… you continue to watch it.
So, instead of just shaking my head, I decided to help out the President, starting with his lunge form.
In fact, I acted so fast, I recorded this inside my hotel room in San Diego instead of waiting until I got home.
So watch this Mr. Obama. I’m like… awesome or something.

Great tips Mike! Keeping the elbows back is TOUGH! And yes…the elliptical is garbage.

Like you said, I was impressed that the POTUS was in a hotel gym getting some exercise despite a busy schedule. If he can do it, we all can do it.
As far as technique… you recommend some great adjustments to Mr. President’s form that I hope the Secret Service encourages him to implement. Thanks, Mike!

Mikey, I hope Sabrina and the boys get to visit you at the White House when President Obama gives you the call 😉 Bodyweight workouts give you a lotta bang for your buck. Thanks for sharing!

Mikey you rock! I totally agree with you about the lunges. They are awesome but they have to be done 100% correctly. Hopefully Mr President will take your great advice!

Could those wimpy little girl dumbbells the President was using really hurt his back or neck?
Mikey

They sure can Chuck. Anyone can hurt themselves with or without equipment, but especially in the neck. That’s why I don’t like sit-ups, V-Ups, etc. It’s just too easy to hurt your neck.

Atta boy Mikey..I am a new believer of the 4 minute workouts.I am 52,and live in Cambridge Ontario, Canada, and recently purchased the 4 minute miracles from Craig Ballantyne. I have to tell you that those things have revolutionized my life. I am a guy with limited time to do workouts, but yet I want to live life to the fullest and enjoy my later years. And this along with your sprint workout system is going to help me make the difference. I weighed 250 pounds about one year ago,with well into mid thirty percent body fat( if my home scale is accurate), and now I weigh in at 205, and 20% body fat. I did most of this with change of eating habits(now paleo) and exercise. I had been struggling with the exercise portion because of time constraints, but with your sprint workouts and the 4 minute miracles I am certain to make great progress.
